Hello, Planitcon.
Yes, you can. I'll explain how the journal entry numbers work and show you how to fix the numbering system.
QuickBooks uses a numbering sequence for journal entries (and custom transaction numbers). The system automatically increases it by one based on the last number entered.
The sequence might've been changed manually, this is why it's randomly autopopulating. To fix this, you can reassign a new sequence for the journal entry number.
Simply enter it in the Journal no. box on the screen. You can add letters together with the numbers (for example: ABC123). As mentioned before, it will follow the next number on the succeeding entry (ABC124 for instance).
More details about creating journal entries can be found here: Create a journal entry in QuickBooks Online.
